Can I copy a whole directory with subdirectories inside it in DOS?

Yes.......but i forgot the command

However, when you do it through DOS, it renames all your files and it looks weird.......it makes short file names, and it messed up things (for me at least)

I wouldn't recommend it
 
But I won't lose any data. I mean it may change the filename e.g maybe it will convert mydocument.doc to mydocu~1.doc, but it WILL copy ALL the files.

Anyway thanlks for the replies
 
Do you actually mean DOS, or that a command prompt in NT/Win2K?

If its the latter it will even preserve long filenames.

Anyway, yes you're correct, it will rename files and directories to the 8.3 format.
